Foundation 

Spotlight on Learning

We acknowledge and celebrate the wonderful efforts of our Foundation students!

Each child has grown in their skills and strengths, forming new connections along the way. A love of learning and play has been nurtured throughout the term. We wish you all a safe and restful break with your children!

Next Term, Week 1 of Term 3, we will be learning and engaging in the following: 

Religious Education Focus

This week, we will explore the theme of Baptism, focusing on its significance, symbols, and meaning within the Catholic faith.

English Focus

We will continue learning Stage 5 sounds, with our focus being on 'ck'. We will be building words using these sounds, such as pack, stick, block and sock. We will continue to read words with Stage 1, Stage 2, Stage 3 and Stage 4 sounds. Please check the reading pouch for the sound sheet every week.

Mathematics Focus

We are learning to share and group numbers to 20 using different strategies. We will use objects, drawings, and number stories to help us make equal groups and understand how numbers can be shared.

Social and Emotional Learning

We are exploring the concept of identity by discussing who we are and what makes us unique.

Auslan Focus

Next term, students are learning that Auslan stories create a visual picture in the air. Unlike spoken English, which relies on telling a story through words, Auslan conveys meaning by showing the story through a range of visual elements. These elements include drawing the shapes of objects in the air, expressing character emotions, and demonstrating how characters move.

Upcoming events
